For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of balsamic vinegar or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese before serving. Feel free to experiment with other herbs, such as oregano or thyme, to customize the flavor profile. This dish is best when the zucchini and tomatoes are fresh and in season.

Jun 6, 2025I didn't have fresh basil, so I used dried. It was still really good, but I'll definitely use fresh next time.
